MEET BERLIN General Terms and Conditions for visitors of the web portal
§ 1 Preamble
1.1 MEET BERLIN is a non-commercial initiative to
encourage use of the city of Berlin as an event destination. A number of
team members are currently working for a fraction of their normal hourly
wages.
We are thankful for every kind of support, whether it is as participant, firm
partner, deliverer or team member. Everyone can make a simple
contribution to the success of this project by showing his enthusiasm for the
project to others.
1.2 Event Destinations GmbH runs the web portal, the Top-Level-Domain www.meet-berlin.net as well as a number of sub-domains on which free information is made available to the public by firms working in the Berlin event-marketing branch.
This is a platform for event locations, catering firms, hotels, service
providers of mobile technical equipment, furniture and other event requirements
as well as decorators, artists, performers, delivery and other services of the
event branch (the so called participants).
1.3 The explicit aim of all participants who introduce themselves on the pages
of MEET BERLIN, is to advertise together for Berlin as an event
metropolis. One can only become a participant after signing a written
contract.
1.4 In addition to the MEET BERLIN Web portal, other marketing strategies are
planned (Info-CD, DVD, visiting tours, road shows, group stands at trade fairs,
etc.). We will be happy to send you information per post.
1.5 A compilation of websites on which the services of Event Destinations GmbH are listed
can be found under “MB-Websites“.
§ 2 Rights and Responsibilities of Users of MB Websites
2.1 It is not technically possible for Event Destinations GmbH to determine if an entry on
the MB-Websites really comes from the person who claims to bet he registered
participant. Event Destinations GmbH gives no guarantee for the real identity of a
user. Each user must verify the identity of another user
himself.
2.2 Event Destinations GmbH reserves the right to change the services offered on the
website or to extend them or to restrict services unless it is not feasible for
the participants.
2.3 The following are prohibited for all users:
a) Use of scripts, software or mechanisms in connection with the use of the
MB-Websites. The user can use the software made available within the framework
of the MB-Website’s offered services.
b) Blocking, overwriting, modifying, copying in as far as this is not required
for the approved use of the service of MB-Websites is not forbidden. For
example, copying of “Robot” or “Crawler” from search machine technologies is
not needed and is therefore explicitly prohibited.
c) Every action which has the potential of impairing the function of the
infrastructure of the MB-Website, i.e. overloading, is not allowed.
§ 3 Liability
3.1 The user recognizes that a 100% access to the MB-Website is technically not
possible. In particular, maintenance, safety or capacity problems as well
as things that are beyond the control of Event Destinations GmbH (such as electrical and
other disturbances, interruption of the telecommunication paths of internet,
etc.) can lead to disturbances or the interruption of the services on the
MB-Websites.
Temporary inaccessibility of the service because of necessary system
maintenance must be accepted by all users with no restrictions.
3.2 Event Destinations GmbH accepts no liability or guarantee for the actuality,
correctness or completion or quality of the participant information on this
website. The participants alone are responsible for their presentations which
are logged in. Participants are responsible to clarify all questions
regarding trade names, advertising slogans and copyrighted material before
posting on the website.
Participants must release Event Destinations GmbH from claims from third parties because of
copyrights violations. Processes against Event Destinations GmbH based on damages
caused by use of the available information and services such as the use of
incorrect or incomplete information are inadmissible unless it can be proved that
Event Destinations GmbH is guilty of premeditated or negligent
damages.
3.3 Event Destinations GmbH is not responsible for the content of third party websites
which are connected by link or reference to MB-Websites and exclusively
disclaims itself from all contents that may be punishable or liable or that do
not conform to expected standards of taste.
3.4 The contents and contact information published on the MB-Websites may not
be used for commercial purposes. Event Destinations GmbH is not responsible for any
violations of this paragraph.
3.5 Participants and visitors of the MB-Websites release Event Destinations GmbH from all
liability and responsibility for contracts which the participants make with
visitors to the MB-Websites. In so far as Event Destinations GmbH does not explicitly
make any written commitments, contracts are exclusively the responsibility of
the two parties involved.
§ 4 Copyrights
4.1 The content of all MB-Websites (including the user conditions) is

Every usage, copying, distribution and/or public use, in particular unapproved
use in internet / internet offers goes beyond normal use and becomes a
copyright violation.
